The Veteran Weeps.

He was leaning over the railing of
the platform at the Battle of Gettys-
burg Clyclorama, with pensive, far
away look in his eyes and great tears
rolling down his Dubious nasal organ,
whose cardinal lustre acted as a cal
cium in throwing an extra halo of light
upon the canvas.
Smiling Treasurer Bechet, who stood
upon the platform explaining the pict-
ures to some school-teachers from Wee
hawken, was touched by the old mans
manifestations of distress, and disen-
tangling himself with much grace
from the gentle mosquito-bangers who
had him cornered ON a point of his
tory, approached the weeping veteran
and inquired in dulcet tones why he
grieved.
s.Does this scene call to mind some
bygone recollections of the battle?" Mr..
Bechet inquired.
Yes, sir" responded the old man,
bailing out his eyes with the sleeve of
his Newmarket, II lost them there"
pointing to a clump of shrubbery hang
ing over the western horizon.
you speak of your arm, presume, !"
said Mr.. Bechet, glancing at the empty
sleeve which dangled at the old mans
side.
No, not my arm; my glasses. |
wouldn't have been wounded if l had
not lost them"
Indeed! How do YOU explain
that?"
.Well, you see, I drove baggage
wagon for the Army of the Potomac.
After lost my glasses had to take
stone out of the hoof of my off lead
ing mule, and couldn't see very well.
When l stopped down I didn't observe
the nigh mule reaching for me until
his hoof landed smack in the middle of
my waistcoat. That's the only time l
was wounded"
Eyes, but when did you lose your
arm?"
80, that was taken off by a buzz-saw
in Michigan last winter"
''Then what are You crying abouts'
swell, you see, had case against
me in the civil court this morning and
lost the blamed thing. 1t cost me sos
to get out of it, Isn't that enough to
make any one blubber?" And fresh
tears pursued each other in rapid sue
cession down the old patriots ruby
cheeks.
Mr.. Bechet was too angry to speak
his thoughts, and if he had done so the
platform would have been Immediately
cleared. As it was he cOntented him.

A White Hawk.

Albinos, whether bird, beast, or
other creatures, are very seldom seen.
A bird totally different in color from
that of its own species is a curiosity
which one may chance to see once in a
life time. An albino of any class of
beings is always novelty. A snow
white owl of the common species was
an object much sought after by the
sportsmen of a near region few win
tiers ago. The rare bird, however,
was never captured. A trapper of this
locality captured beautiful white
specimen of mink a year or two ago.
The writer has seen some nearly white
ducks among the various classes of
wild ducks, but Of all the albinos OBJ
served the .prettiest was a white turtle
dove, which remained near us for sew
eral weeks during the summer of 1884.
1t wasindeel a very rare sight. Quite
recently another true specimen of this
freak Of nature we call afbino was OBJ
served by the writer. 1t belonged to
that order Of hawks termed the hem
barrier, and its uniform was of pale
whiteness.- Alexandria Mo. Cor.

Finding Pharaoh.

In recent number Of the Century
are two profusely illustrated ARTICLES
under the above caption describing the
discovery of Pharaoh's tomb and plct-
uring its contents, From the first ar
ticle by Mr.. Wilson, the photographer,
we quote this account of the way III
which the tomb was located: ''ln
line of tombs beyond the Ramesseum
lived four sturdy Arabs named Adder
Rasoul. They supplied guides and
donkeys to tourists who desired to visit
the ruins of Thebes, and sold them
genuine and spurious antiques. When
they found mummy, it being forbid
den by law to sell it, the head and
hands and feet were wrenched off and
sold on the sly, while the torso was
kicked about the ruined temples until
the jackals came and carried it away.
I purchased head and hand of one OF
the brothers amid the dark shadows OF
the temple at Qurneh. Early in 1881
circumstantial evidence pointed to All
med Abd-er-RasOul as the one who
knew more than he would tell. Pro-
fessor Maspero caused his arrest, and
he lay in prison at Keneh for some
months. He also suffered the baSti-
nado and the browbeating of the wom-
en- repeatedly; he resisted brides, and
showed no melting mood when threat
ened with execution. His lips told no
more than the unbound tomb-and not
as much. Finally his brother Mo
manned regarded the offer of 'baks-
hish,' which Professor Maspero deemed
it wise to make, as worth more to him
than any sum he might hope to realize
from future pillaging, and made a
clean breast of the whole affair. How
the four brothers ever discovered the
hidden tomb has remained family
secret On July 5, 1881. the willy
Arab conducted Herr Emil Brugsch
Bey, curator of the Bulaq Museum, to
Deir-el-Bahari and pointed out the hid
ing-place SO long looked for. A long
climb it was, up the slope of the wes-
tern mountain, till, after scaling a
great limestone cliff, hu T., isolated
rock was found. Behind this spot
was reached where the stones appeared
to an expert observer and tomb-search-
er to have been arranged by hand,
rather than scattered by some up
heava; of nature. There said the
sullen guide; and there the enterpris-
my Einil Dug Dcss Will Ilolc ildH
Egyptian alacrity, soon had staff of
Arabs at work hosting the loose stones
from well into which they had been
thrown. The shaft had been sunk into
the solid limestone to the depth of
about forty feet, and was about six feet
square. Before going very far, a huge
palm-log was thrown across the well
and block and tackle fastened to it
to help bring up the debris. When
the bottom of the shaft was reached a
subterranean passage was found which
ran westward some twenty-four feet
and then turned directly northward,
continuing into the heart of the noun
tain straight except where broken for
about two hundred feet by an abrupt
stairway; The passage terminated in
mortuary chamber about thirteen by
twenty-three feet in extent and barely
six feet in height. There was found
the mummy of King Pharaoh of the
Oppression, with nearly forty others
of kings, queens, princes and priests"

be married, '..if George should at some
future time meet with reverses and his
fortune should be swept away, which
occasionally occurs to silver-mine spec

Curious and ingenious methods are being
introduced to increase the efficiency of the
European armies In France pigeons are
being trained 10 carry messages backward
and forward between two given points on the
following clever plan: The carrier pigeon
will NATURALLY fly back to its cote; but being
kept there without grain water the bird
will return to the point whence il came in
order to procure food Thus in case of a
city being beleaguered the pigeon would
traverse the lines twice in a day, eating at
one point away in the country and domesti-
eating at the other within the walls, thus sup
plying an invaluable line of communication
In Germany the infantry are supplied with
intelligent watch dog. for the outpCSts, who
scent and detect danger long before the
sentry is aware of it, while the cavalry are
trained 10 swim streams, leading their horses
by the brides, the latter carrying the sol
dier's arms and accoutrements.
The latest idea, however, comes from
Russia, where the minister of war has
ordered that in all the infantry and cavalry
corps a certain number of officers and men
shall in future employ part of their time in
shooting AMI hunting game The object is
explained 10 be To combine this with recon
noitering work, thus enabling the troops to
acquire a practical knowledge of the districts
in which they may be stationed. and gralgu-
